-#
-# This shell script updates the copyright headers in source code files
-# in the current branch so that the headers conform to the pattern:
-# <start-year>-present.
-# 
-# For example, "Copyright 2002-2025" will be replaced with
-# "Copyright 2002-current".
-#
-# This has only been tested on mac OS.
